The Artist: Seattle Artist Susan Lockwood was a visual artist, a painter with a brilliant eye for colors. She was a poet and avid writer who continually surprised her friends and acquaintances with her humor and insight. Susan believed in community. She held the vision that anyone and everyone could experience the joy of creating art. Susan was a wonderful, gifted teacher who encouraged children to explore art. Countless children resonated to her quietness and naturally trusted her. Susan was dedicated to environmental causes all her life. This led her to visit many magnificent places, and she expressed those experiences in her art. In 1989, Susan traveled west to Prince William Sound in Alaska to help cleanup the oil spilled from the Exxon Valdez. In the early 1990's, Susan was co-director of Heart to Art, a Seattle-based community arts organization dedicated to raising awareness, money and creativity in response to HIV and AIDS. In 1993, she and her friends created House, an arts crafts consignment shop in Capitol Hill. Over the past 20 years Susan also taught art to children, explored alternative building processes, and coordinated numerous art shows, workshops, and community events. Though Susan has been an artist all her life, in 2000 she decided to pursue painting as her full-time occupation. For several years she commuted across Puget Sound to maintain a studio and hold a board position at Metropolis Gallery- an artists' collective in Bremerton WA. In the spring of 2006, she moved to a new studio in Pioneer Square, where she began to curate and maintain Alchemy Gallery. Unfortunately, Susan A Lockwood, 46 years old, passed away too soon on Saturday, May 16th, at home on a brilliantly sunny morning, surrounded by her community of friends and family. In her work, her legacy lives on.
